Persona 5: Wilted Rose (Joker X Ann Takamaki. Hanahaki Disease)

Chapter 15: Love is a Pain

I'm updating this a day early because there is going to be hurricane coming into my hometown later todayc hurricane hilary. It's predicted it will start 5:00 p.m. my time and end 10:00 p.m. my time, but this could end up lasting until Sunday or Monday, or heck, even start sooner.

If the power goes out. I won't be able update this, but don't worry everyone, I'll be safe, my life isn't at risk so I'll definitely live to see another day, but i'd still rather post this now then be late with it. If anyone else is dealing with this, please stay safe.

In the morning, Akira had called everyone to meet up early. This time he had gotten some sleep. Sojiro wasn't there this time as he had to run some errands

Makoto: so, what's up?

Akira: *cough* So remember how we all agreed to learn how to make pancakes? How is that going?

Futaba: Wait when did we agree to that?

Yusuke: In text

Futaba: Oh yeah. I wasn't paying attention to what you guys were texting at that moment.

Akira: so, how's everyone's pancake skills?

Makoto: I do know how to make them.

Ann: I kind of know.

Haru: recently learned how to make them.

Yusuke: I'm not that experienced in cooking.

Ryuji: can't cook for shit, but I've been learning.

Futaba: I can get Sojiro to make me some.

Morgana: hard to do with paws

Sumire: I can make pancakes. I already knew how to.

Makoto: I still don't get why you're bringing this up.

Akira: well, he's back.

Haru: who's back?

Akira: the ace defective

Sumire: ace defective?

Akira: pancake maniac

Ann: Akechi?!

Akira: Yep...

Futaba: B- but how?!

Makoto: Did he somehow survive? Or did Maruki's power keep him alive somehow?

Akira: don't know, the boys and I just found him alive one day.

Makoto: Wait so you all already knew he was alive and didn't tell us?

Akira: we found out just after the previous palace, it wasn't so long ago.

Morgana: We wanted to discuss this with you all first before we make any decisions.

Ann: Oh... fair enough

Haru: How can he be back?

Futaba: Is he even on our side this time again?

Akira: well, he wants to rejoin, don't know why he won't tell me, all I know is to investigate why there's more Palaces, I feel this is something we have to discuss before we do anything.

Futaba: I don't trust him

Ann: neither do I.

Ryuji: does anyone even trust him?

Haru: Nope...

Akira: *cough* fair enough, he did try to kill all of us.

Sumire: This was before I joined, isn't it?
